Notes
Studio recording, 1964 session, riff section. Lennon doubled with 1964 Gibson J-160E (P-90 neck pickup) also through Vox AC100. No evidence of pedals or effects on the riff section. 2023 Mix uses original session tracks.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated picking and clean execution, but is not technically advanced. The main challenge is maintaining clarity and rhythmic precision at moderate tempo.
